logical Fallacy #4: Red herring You often heard this term but may not know what it means. It basically refers to arguments which may be valid themselves but are made in order to support a different argument: A proves B, so A proves C. It is frequently used as a means to distract the reader/listener from the judgment of the real issue. Example: I should be promoted in the company! I’ve been with the company for over 8 years and obviously I’m the most experienced!
